Run your own recruitment business without the risk

Sept. 26, 2012 - PRLog -- Janette Withey, founder or Quay People and Chairman of the London Docklands Business Club, is looking for associates to run their own ‘satellite’ businesses following 4 years of successful development.

The business model is ideal for people who want the flexibility of running their own business but without the risk as Quay People provides the support such as mentoring, coaching, payroll services, finance of temporary payroll, invoicing, insurance, advertising, CRB checks - all managed by Quay People.

Janette explained: “This model has excellent potential earnings for the associate without the risk and worries about financing a payroll – something that often restricts individuals who would like to start their own businesses.

“Running a satellite business is a win-win and a particularly good option for mothers who used to have senior recruitment roles and perhaps don’t want to return to a nine-to-five job. They can run the business from home, work flexibly, and there is scope to earn a very good income, in the region of £70K and more, for people who have the right experience, determination and industry contacts.”

Recruitment consultant, Jacqui Fairey joined Quay People to run a satellite business and hasn’t looked back since.

“Financially for me it was a very good move and the arrangement means I don’t have to worry about cash flow like I would if I was a sole trader. It’s especially helpful in this climate when banking support is limited,” she explained.

The focus of Quay People’s satellite businesses are that they can operate across different disciplines and specialist sectors within the recruitment industry regardless of location.

Satellite consultants operate as independent businesses, generating income through the placement of candidates. Central services are supplied through Quay People and charged on a per candidate basis, enabling new start-ups to avoid the investment in essential support services. In addition, Quay People provides additional chargeable services to each satellite, offering the benefits of an established recruitment consultancy to independent recruitment consultants.

Anyone who believes they have the experience and drive to join Janette’s team can e-mail her at Janette.Withey@quay-people.co.uk or call 020 7538 0232.

Quay People is a highly successful, independent recruitment service,. Janette has more than 30 years’ experience in the recruitment industry and an innate understanding of the recruitment industry across numerous sectors.  Janette previously worked as a senior manager for a national recruitment consultancy before deciding to go it alone with a more tailored service for clients and candidates.  

Quay People has grown dramatically over recent years identifying and supplying the skilled individuals essential to the development of the region’s most demanding and successful organisations. Clients, most of whom have been with the business since its inception, range from major corporates to SMEs, and include public sector agencies and borough councils. Candidates include those for whom London is their home, and those looking to move into the area from across Europe and elsewhere; at present Quay People represent over 40 different nationalities.

Case Study

After some 20 years in the industry, recruitment expert Jacqui Fairey was ready for a fresh challenge. She knew she didn’t want the restrictions of working full time for an agency like she had for many years but also didn’t feel she wanted the financial risks and administrative burdens that come with setting up on your own.

So when she met Janette Withey, Managing Director of Quay People, and learned about the company’s satellite operation it soon became clear that this was the ideal opportunity to take her career forward and use her expertise.

“Financially for me it was a very good move and the arrangement means I don’t have to worry about cash flow like I would if I was a sole trader. It’s especially helpful in this climate when banking support is limited,” Jacqui explains.

With 60 temporary staff working through Jacquie’s satellite business at one point, she was earning a good income for herself and Quay People with the dual benefit of feeling part of the Quay People team and also having the flexibility to grow her operation as large as she wanted.

As well as providing insurance and administrative help under the Quay People umbrella, Janette works with the satellite businesses by giving constant support and advice on aspects like new legislation.

Janette explains: “Running a satellite business is a win-win and a particularly good option for mothers who used to have senior recruitment roles and perhaps don’t want to return to a nine-to-five job. They can run the business from home, work flexibly, and there is scope to earn a very good income, in the region of £70K and more, for people who have the right experience, determination and industry contacts.”
